Chen sat on the cream colored couch in the living room with his arms crossed. His head lifted and hazily read the time, 12:04AM. He sigh picking up his white phone from the table in front of him when he heard the door lock snapping. His head turned as quick as a bullet hearing the knob now twisting.

Celine kicked her black heels off from her feet not noticing Chen was standing before her when she entered. His arms fell from his sides with this phone on one hand. His face looked relieved when she finally saw him. She smiled like it was telling him that she was glad to be home and she went closer to him.
